Which? Apple won't adopt anything GPL, so BTRFS, XFS, JFS, etc--basically every Linux project is right out. It was almost ZFS, years ago, but Apple backed out when Oracle bought Sun. What out there is modern, good, and under a compatible license? HAMMER?
- deftnerd 11y agoThey could probably buy up the rights to BeFS for really cheap now. It was a beautiful file system, in my opinion.
- chipotle_coyote 11y agoIIRC, they hired Dominic Giampaolo to work on the file system for a while -- he was responsible for adding journaling to HFS+ and started Spotlight, which has a lot in common with BeFS's attributes. He apparently worked on a new file system for them but it never shipped. http://www.nobius.org/~dbg/ http://www.nobius.org/~dbg/

- grubles 11y agobtrfs, zfs, and any other checksumming FS is useless without ECC RAM.
- the_why_of_y 11y agoNot any more useless than any other (non-checksumming) filesystem.
